Uncommon Cause of Acute Drug-induced Liver Injury Following Mammoplasty.

Cephalexin is a well tolerated antimicrobial and hepatic injury is an infrequent occurrence with its use. We here describe a 21-year-old female who presented with jaundice and elevated liver enzymes after 4 weeks completion of 10 day course of cephalexin, prescribed prophylactically after mammoplasty. Extensive work up including all causes of hepatitis was within normal limits and she improved with conservative management. This case highlights the need to suspect drug induced liver injury in cases of jaundice and cephalexin use.
